Ok, I have an older laptop I want to give my sister for use in school (running a P2 300).
I know that MS office is a bit of a resource hog, so I was wondering how Open Office fares comparitively.
Would it be recommended by users who have used both as being better/worse for an older computer?
(Disregard both cost and advanced funcionality as she only uses basic functions and I’ve an available liscene so neither factor plays).
Worse, I’d say. Even on my 2.4 ghz laptop, it’s something of a slow starter. Once it’s intially loaded it’s not so bad, but MS Office is always a bit faster. Of course, since you have both, why not just load them both, test them against each other and then uninstall the one she doesn’t like?
